The Christmas-hiatus was very long. Hugh went back to England to celebrate Christmas with his children, however it was a little weird to be « alone » with the kids. He and Jo have already filed for divorce and the divorce should be pronounced in a few weeks.
Now, he’s back in L.A. and all he can think about is … Lisa. Why hasn’t she waited still a few months ! Why did she meet and date Robert right now ? He’ll be free in a few weeks ! Free to tell her how much he loves her, how many times he dreamt he was making love with her, kissing her …« Com’on, boy, nothing is lost, you still have a chance, Lisa’s relationship didn’t use to last more than a year », he tells to himself. But she looks so happy with Robert ! What will House do in such a situation ? Ask Wilson, of course ! But, where is Wilson ?
The phone rings. That’s David :
- Hey, Hugh, how are you doing ? Did you have great presents for Christmas ?
-Hi, David. Well, I had some, but… and what about you ?
-That was great. I make a party tomorrow evening and I would like you to come, are you ok ?
-Well, I don’t know, I’m not really in the mood…
-O, please, come, there will be Jesse, Jennifer, Olivia, Omar, Peter, and other people of the crew
-Will Lisa be there ?
-Yeah, I think so, but without Robert, he’s at the moment in London for work.
-Well…, ok, I’ll come.
Hugh hangs up and shout by jumping for joy, tomorrow evening is the chance he was waiting for.
In one hour David’s party will start. Lisa is almost ready, she ‘s wearing a black jean with a white top and she likes what she sees in the mirror. She knows that Hugh will be there tonight and she wants to look wonderful. Of course, she’s dating Robert, but she knows deep in her heart that the one she really loves is Hugh. Robert is a nice guy, but… Hugh is so sexy with his blue eyes and his british accent!
Hugh can’t wait anymore, this day was too long ! He parks his car in front of David’s House and sees Lisa’s car, she’s already arrived.Great ! In a few minutes, he will see her. He decided early in the morning to tell her what he really feels for her, and now, it’s time to take his courage in both hands.
David lets him in and they go to the living room where a lot oh his friends are joking, laughing and drinking. And then, he sees her, she’s speaking with Olivia, she’s even more beautiful than he could remember.
Suddenly a pat on the shoulder returns him to the reality, that’s Robert.
- Hey,how are you ? Great holidays ?
- Yeah, thanks, and did you enjoy the break ? replies Hugh.
-That was so great, I went to Hawai and had a lot of fun. And…
- I’m sorry, I have to talk with Lisa, but we’ll have a drink later, promise !
Robert is not surprised at all, he knows his friend, and he knows, like a lot of people who work with Hugh and Lisa, that there’s a great chemistry between them.
Hugh goes up to Lisa and Olivia. « Hi, ladies, nice party, isn’t it ? Good music, nice people, good food… »
- Hey, Hugh, did you have a good time in London? says Olivia.
Lisa says nothing but looks quickly at him and smiles, with a wonderful smile. God, she’s so beautiful, thinks Hugh and doesn’t listen to Olivia.
- Huugh ! Do you hear me ? Or are you on another planet ?, asks Olivia.
- Well, yeah, I’m sorry, I’m a little tired because of the jet lag . What did you say ? Olivia looks at him and smiles :« I understand, well, I’ve nothing more to drink, do you want something ? »
- No, thank you , answer Hugh and Lisa at the same time. They give each other an intense gaze and Olivia prefers to leave them alone.
-How was your holiday ?, asks Hugh.
-Great, thanks, we’ve done a lot of things, went to many events and parties… And how was your Christmas ?
-Good. Humm, Lisa, I would like to tell you something important…, begins Hugh, but Robert and Jesse come and start to joke. After a while, Lisa goes to the bar and Hugh keep joking with Robert.
One hour later, everyone is « busy » and has fun, except Hugh. He takes David apart and asks him:
-Well, I ‘ve got a favour to ask you.
-I hear you, ask for all what you want excepted for an increase !, answers David with a big smile.
-I would like to speak with Lisa, but I need a quiet room, can we go in your office ?
-Yeah, of course. Go there, I tell Lisa you’re waiting for her, but … be a nice guy !, and David gives him a wink.
Hugh goes to David’s office and waits. A few minutes later, Lisa crosses her head by the door and says:
-Hey, is somebody there ?
-Here I am, Mistress, answers Hugh by curtseying.
-Lisa bursts into laugh. What do you want to tell me that was so important ? David almost scared me.
